Abstract: Process for the manufacture of fused polyphosphate glasses in which a hydrocarbon is used as the carrier for the slurry of reactants that are fed to the high temperature furnace.
Abstract: Substituted biphenyl-2-carboxaldehydes are prepared in good yield by reacting palladium complexes of substituted benzaldehyde aniline Schiff bases with substituted phenylmagnesium bromides in the presence of at least six, preferably eight, molar equivalents of triphenylphosphine.
Abstract: Substances isolated after cultivation of a microorganism belonging to the genus Aspergillus in a culture medium comprise compounds which have structures: ##STR1## Together with salts and esters of the carboxylic acid, these compounds form a class of highly active hypocholesteremic and hypolipemic medicaments.
Abstract: The invention relates to novel [(5,6,9a-substituted-3-oxo-1,2,9,9a-tetrahydro-3H-fluoren-7-yl)-oxy]alkano ic and cycloalkanoic acids and their analogs, esters, salts and derivatives. These compounds are synthesized by methods selected from a number of synthetic routes depending on the particular structure, choice of intermediate or preferred reaction sequence. The compounds are useful in the treatment and prevention of injury to the brain and spinal chord due to accidents, ischemic stroke and hydrocephalus; compositions for such uses are also disclosed.

Abstract: Biologically inactive cis-6-(substituted-arylethenyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-2H-pyran-2-on es are isomerized to the corresponding anti-hypercholesterolemic trans-isomers by heating in the presence of a heavy metal salt.
Abstract: An improved tamperproof container for lyophilized material wherein the container comprises a vial having flange about its opening. Below the flange, but spaced apart therefrom is a shoulder to define an indented neck therebetween. The opening is sealed with a pierceable stopper. An overcap extends over the flange and about the neck to form a skirt about the neck. The skirt has at least a portion thereof extending inwardly in gripping reaction with the neck and limited in removal by contact with the underside of the flange whereby the cap cannot be removed without destroying its structural integrity.
Abstract: An electroconductive polymer composition containing an electroconductive polymer and an agent that imparts improved tack properties to paper coated with the composition.
Abstract: 2-(4-Aminopiperidino)pyrazines are useful as analgesic and antidepressant agents. They are prepared by reductive amination of the corresponding 2-(4-oxopiperidino)pyrazines.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for efficiently labelling red blood cells , which permits the imaging of blood pools in the intact animal or human patient, accomplished by injection of a saline solution of an alkaline earth metal salt of glucoheptonic acid and a non-toxic stannous salt followed by injection with a solution of sodium pertechnetate Tc 99 m to tag the red blood cells. The invention also relates to the kit used in the method of our invention consisting of a single vial containing 25 mg. calcium glucoheptonate and 3 mg. of stannous chloride dihydrate in 2 ml. of saline solution.
